In case you’ve not heard, Elon Musk has just hired a new female CEO called Linda Yaccarino. But can she actually change the sexist culture at Twitter?
after Elon sacked thousands of staff. In December, two former female staff members filed an unfair dismissal claim against the tech company, arguing that more women were laid off than men. They claim that 57 per cent of female staff were laid off during Twitter’s mass sackings on November 4, compared to 47 per cent of men.
In a court filing, the former staff claimed Musk had unfairly demanded staff commit to “extremely hardcore” working hours, despite knowing this would force mothers and female caregivers to quit. The former Twitter workers stated that some staff were told they would need to work “24/7” to meet Mr Musk’s product demands and sleep in the office.
